Flex Belt......again!

I've seen them worn both ways.....which is preferred?

-- flat side against compression shorts....ref shirt over "nubs".....slacks over all. (This keeps the shirt in fine....but you can find yourself still tugging at your waistband every now and then to keep the waistband up on your waistline.

-- flex belt flat side against ref shirt.....tuck in shirt to slacks.....nubs against the slacks. (I find this to accomplish both....keeps shirt tucked in and nubs hold slacks from sliding below waistline.)

tee shirt into compression shorts, flex belt with nubs out over ref shirt against pants. Helps keep pants up.
I just broke my second flex belt at the metal button piece. Now I just tie it into a knot.

How about this for keeping your pants up. Deep squats and other exercises to develop the butt! A big butt is not a flat/wide butt, it is a round butt.

Sorry, just ready to go home.

I don't even use a flex belt. I just tuck my undershirt into the top of my compression shorts.

I like these. They are more comfortable and stay where they are suppost to. Usually last 2 seasons:

I do this one, as well as tucking my shirt into my compression shorts.

I have one of these. I switch back and forth as to which one I like better. I can't decide.

Get the black belt, much easier to work with and it doesn't look odd (like the yellow belt) when it slips up over the pants during the game. The velcro snap is much much much easier to connect. I started using this a year ago and love it, much better then the metal button snap in.

I've never seen the yellow belts, only white. Where were you buying your flex belts from Old School?

Fair enough, creme color but they are not white!

Mine is a yellow/brown color that I have had for probably 6-7 seasons. It has lasted while my partners seem to break theirs all the time. The older ones were really made better!
